Nationalize SpaceX and revoke his security clearance

Brandon Friedman
This is incredibly racist, juvenile and honestly shocking that it was posted by a major U.S. national security contractor

(15,595 posts)Others are coming online and being fielded. And a little mouse is telling me Amazon might become a major player standing right next to SpaceX soon, along with some EU companies working with NATO. The only thing that makes Starlink so special is that for the last six years, it was the only player...
But now, Starlink is not the only player in space.
And governments don't need to be forced to renew 5 year service contracts or even use his product if they don't want to.
Smuck needs to watch his parasitical mouth. He got his wealth off government subsidies, the hard work and research of others (many of whom he has fired for no reason other than egotistical cost cutting so more $$$$ go to him) and leveraging existing technologies.

(84 posts)All that is required is to invest in governmental programs to take their place like the old days. Such investment would be started immediately and then as soon as possible all of his contracts would be withdrawn,
It is of paramount importance to sever all relationships with this anti-American, Russian piece of shit. Remember when he explicitly blocked US communication via his communication system in Ukraine? He backed off in the face of immense pressure from the US. Nothing he is associated with should ever be a party to US policy.
I have been wondering whether or not he has already committed enough crimes to be prosecuted for violations of laws associated with his activities. Surely he should have already been stripped of his ill gotten wealth.
Fortunately he is discovering that being such an unAmerican piece of shit is reducing the desirability of his autos. Just withdraw his federal contracts and then prosecute and incarcerate him for what ever he can be convicted for.
